Courante presents “Crossing the Channel”
November 24 @ 3:00 pm
$20
The Upper Cape-based baroque ensemble Courante will present a concert on Sunday, November 24 at 3 PM at the Church of the Messiah, 22 Church St., Woods Hole.
The program, “Crossing the Channel,” features music by composers who crossed the English Channel to further their careers. From Giovanni Coprario (John Cooper) to George Frideric Handel (Georg Friederich Händel), composers traveled both ways across the channel to apprentice, perform, teach, and create. Courante honors them with an offering of lively trio sonatas, fantasias and dances.
Founded in 2016, Courante performs baroque music on historic instruments at baroque pitch (A=415). Members include Jan Elliott, recorder; David Gable, violin; Molly Johnston, viola da gamba; and Brittany Lord, harpsichord.
Doors open at 2:30 PM. Admission is by donation, with $20 suggested; children free.
